1. Goals and Future Directions

· I’m having a moral dilemma. I came into work about 8:45. I’m supposed to work until 4:45. It’s just after 4:00 now. I am done what I planned to do today. I don’t know if I should go. There is lots of other stuff I could work on, but by the time that I get it all out, I will have about 15 minutes to work on it until I have to put everything away and tidy up. I’ll get nothing done. It feels like everybody has left, and I want to leave too.

· This is an update incognito. I have papers spread all over my desk, I am currently writing in the “Goals and Future Directions” section of the minutes of a meeting that I took yesterday, and then I’ll just copy and paste it when I’m done. If someone walks by, I can very easily pretend that I’m working. I’m so sneaky.

· I’ve had so many random thoughts today, it’s actually quite funny. I wrote a lot of them down, so I will update again when I get home.

Guess what?! I wasted enough time doing this, that I can go home now! Well, that solved my problem! Woo hoo!

Fri, 18 Nov 2005 05:45:04 GMT

So it snowed today? I'm ecstatic! And I'm eating popcorn. Double happy.

What's not so happy? Biochem midterm tomorrow morning at 8:30 am on Chapters 9-13 and It's 12:16am, I'm eating popcorn and glaring at my textbook in the middle of chapter 9. Yep, that's cool. Funny thing? I don't care! I'm doing well enough in the rest of my courses that the sucky mark in this class won't bring down my average enough to put me on probation, and seeing as I can't stand biochemistry, and trying to do all of the work won't work, I've accepted this situation. And I recognize that that is bad. Very bad. But seriously, I don't care.

We had our "cleanest suite" pizza party today. I give Steve credit for taking the time to home-make the pizza for us...but it was lots of fun! You want a summary of the night?! Ok, Su's going to kick everybody's ass with her black belt!

Aaaaand it snowed today, and the snow STUCK! It's b-e-a-utiful!!! Su and I went out and had a first snow fall of the year snow dance/snowball fight/snow angel making/down the hill rolling/tree climbing adventure. It was glorious, absolutely glorious!

Look at how happy we are! IT SNOWED!!!

So that was our adventure in the snow!!! And next week we get to go skating!!!

Now seriously, maybe I'll get through one chapter for this midterm!

Wed, 16 Nov 2005 06:57:34 GMT

So it's 1:43 am, and I'm not stressed about the midterm tomorrrow...even though I'm not even done studying?! Grrreat...And why are there little tiny bugs flying around my room?! That I would like to know!

Seriously, why am I not getting stressed?! I can't even remember a time where I've been stressed this term...is that good or bad?! Cause right now I'm sitting here, writing in lj, and getting angry about these little bugs flying around. (Seriously, they're everywhere!) There is no stress in that equation.

So I still haven't finished my obituary report yet. Here's what I shall do tomorrow. Go to class at 8:30 and 9:30, write midterm at 10:30, go home and sleep at 11:30, wake up, go to class again at 1:30, come home and sleep again at 2:30, wake up at 3:30, study for biochem, and finish obituary report (You must finish tomorrow, ok Erika?! YOU MUST!). Go see Our Town with Trevor, Grant and Holly. Come home, go to sleep. Then on Thursday I shall wake up whenever I feel like it, go to class at 1:00, go to Kin lab at 2:30, come home at 5:30 and STUDY like a mofo for Biochem. Perhaps sleep if there is time for that after all of the mad studying about glycolysis and krebs cycle, and whatever else happened in biochemistry while I was sleeping all of Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays at 8:30 in the morning. I might fail this midterm...but am I getting worried or stressed about it?! Apparently not, I'm just writing my my freaking livejournal. Whatever. Clearly I don't care about it! What is wrong with me!? Mwahahaha!

I painted my nails bright bluish green, and I hate them. I hate having my nails painted. And Su thinks I have a big crush. Ok, back to the Canadian Health Care System.

So as I was walking to BMH to hand in my lab today, wearing just a sweater and a vest, wind wipping at me, causing temporary blindness as my eyes started to water with the chill, I realized how happy I was. A prof walking to her car, carring a bunch of books, trying to put her hood up, students waiting for the bus, shivering because they're way underdressed, people standing outside smoking, wishing that they didn't have such a nasty habit, because it meant standing out in the freezing cold...it all makes me so happy! Is that weird?! It's finally feeling like winter - and for that, I can't even express my delight. I'm not sure why the winter means so much to me...It's mystery that I haven't deciphered yet. For now, I will just enjoy it. It's 3 degress, my window is wide open and I'm in a t-shirt. This is the life.

You know what else makes me happy? Getting out of week #1 from hell alive. I'm almost there. I know everyone else has these weeks too, and I won't complain, I will just say that I'm elated to be entering week #2 from hell on both feet, instead of on my ass. One more midterm tomorrow, and it's 1 week down, 1 to go. I may not have done as well as I had hoped, or as I should have, but I'm sure I did as well as I deserved to, and I can be happy with that. Of course I would be happier if I do better than deserved, but I'm not counting on it! This year, I am actually understanding the concept of doing work, it's a miracle! I do readings (of course still not all of them, but a lot more than I ever did last year!), I prepare for midterms more than the day or 2 before (well, not this week, but that's a different story!), and I'm retaining information, and enjoying learning in most of my classes. I never thought this day would come! Of course, with my new found love of school (almost), I am not loving it at the moment! Like I said, I won't complain, cause everyone else goes through it too, but I'd just like to state, for the record, that this week and next week blow big time! Strangely enough, I'm not stressing about anything, I'm just getting annoyed! Anyway, enough about school!

So Veronica Mars is at its 6th Episode, and I SOOO want to watch it NOW! It has been downloading for over 2 hours, and it's only at 0.3%...which means that it'll nevvvvver finish, and then I'll never be able to download One Tree Hill! Grrrrr...stupid ResNet!

You should all watch Ali G...He's freaking hilarious!

I think it's time for Gingerbread Latte, perhaps some Roast Beef, and some serious hitting of the books! Cardiovascular and Respiratory Responses to Exercise, here I comeeee! Wheeee!

Mon, 27 Jun 2005 02:26:03 GMT

I start my new job tomorrow...Yikes!

I went swimming today for the first time in probably 2 years...and I actually had fun!

Kelly's brother's are very vulgar, and Jacob Moon sucks!

SU IS COMING BACK TO WATERLOO! I'M SO HAPPY!!!

I'm really tired... And I have to get up early... Ok, to bed.

Last night I had a dream that I went to New York City... Best dream of my life!

Sun, 26 Jun 2005 05:44:39 GMT

This hot weather is killing me. Today is precisely why I want to move to the Arctic. I went to the gym today with my mom, and as soon as I stepped outside, I started sweating. I know it's gross. Partly because I have Hyperhydrosis (look it up!), but also cause it was about 34 degrees outside. With all the humidity on top of the heat, it's deadly!

I was going to go to the mall with my parents to buy an answering machine, and some glue for my fake eyelashes (it's for a performance people, I don't go around wearing them! haha!), but instead, I went on Meghan's boat to Toronto! Twas fun! We parked on the wall outside Ontario Place, BBQ'd dinner on the "Sea-B-Que", and then our old music teacher Mrs. Barratto showed up with her family on the boat, and then we decided that we'd break into Ontario Place! Woo hoo! So I'll draw a picture of how we did it!

We went from the boat, along the wall (a cement wall, where boats "park"...and just imaging that all the white space around the wall and Ontario Place, and the boats is water!), and then there was a wall that we had to get over, about 3-4 ft high, and maybe almost a foot wide. So I just kind of jumped up and hoisted myself over, not really a big deal, but Meghan couldn't do it, so we went back to the boat, and after supper, we went back, with a plastic stepping stool, and she hopped over, I passed her the stool and then jumped over. Then we went into Ontario place, and used the bathrooms (Boat bathrooms are not so fun), and got some ice cream, and wandered around, and then tried to go on a water ride, but it was closed cause the park was so close to closing time...so we just wandered some more, and then made our way back to the wall...get back over was a challenge! On one side the wall is straight up, but on this side it was kind of slanted (it's really hard to explain!), so you couldn't really hoist yourself up, so you kind of had to climb it a bit, and wearing shorts, you kind of skin your knees on the cement! How fun! We finally made it over, and because it was dark, Meghan walked into a metal kleat thingy that boats tie onto....and then about 3 feet away from our boat (I call it "our" meaning her stepdad's!), there are tiny metal spike things sticking out of the wall, and I ripped a chunk of my toe off as I walked into it! What an experience that was! But the ice cream at Ontario Place made everything so worth it! What's a little blood, when you've just had chocolate peanut butter ice cream!

So doesn't that look like fun?! It sure was! Although, I think I ate too much. We wanted to go on some rides once we got in, but they were all closing by the time we got there! So we just had our ice cream, got back to the boat, and watched the fireworks. I'm usually not the biggest fan of fireworks, but I didn't mind them, cause we're over water, and they are really far away! They were pretty good! Only they were supposed to go with the music (on a particular radio station...98.1 I believe), but the radio on the boat didn't work, so that kind of stank. Meghan's stepsister sang for us though!

Not much else interesting to say right now. I know, I lead such a boring life! Actually something exciting...So we're performing on a cruise ship! The Burlington Public Library is having a fundraiser on a Cruise Ship, and we (Student Theatre) are performing on it...in "Anything Goes"/1920's attire. It's going to be a fun, but very prestigous event! $125 per ticket!!!

So I bought the new Coldplay CD, and it doesn't work on the stereo in my car. I don't know why. It plays burned CD's, and any other CD I put in it, just not Coldplay. Puzzling.

I should go to bed tomorrow. I have to wake up early tomorrow. How unfortunate!

Mon, 20 Jun 2005 03:16:55 GMT

Sooooooooo...I went to Markham on the weekend, and what F-U-N! We went out for Thai food, and we went to Wonderland, and we had Pizza, and watched Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants (NOT reccomended), and took the Subway to downtown Toronto, and had Street Meat. MmmMMmmmm!

Su, I think the CD you burned me with our pictures and slideshow on it is blank!

So does anyone watch Veronica Mars? Cause you should. It's so very good.

I have to enroll tomorrow, and School Sucks. I'm going to bed now, so I can be well rested for my day at work tomorrow. Aaarrrrggghhhh. Bon soir.

Fri, 10 Jun 2005 19:11:24 GMT

What a day, what a day. It's 2:56 and I'm still in my pjyamas. OH MY GOSH, it's already 2:56?! Crap, I haven't gotten anything accomplished today! I've been trying to write a "speech" about Jenny for our ST Awards, but it's not coming along very well...Why'd I volunteer to do that, she deserves a better speech than any one I could give her!

So I've been trying to pick out my electives for next term.....and school is making me very upset. Su isn't coming back, therefore I don't have a roommate anymore, and Jess is switching out of my program, therefore I am actually left with no friends. I feel selfishly abandoned. I know, it's silly.

I just started playing music, and I was freaking out because it wasn't working, and I thought something was wrong with my computer. The speakers were turned off. Riiiight.

So I joined Curves with my mom yesterday. I had to go around and do the circuit with some old lady showing me how to work out. I'm sorry, but I've taken classes about exercise (ie "Personal Active Fitness", where we develop our own fitness programs, and workout for a credit) , and I've belonged to a gym for 2 years, I think I can handle this. I mean, it's not the most intense workout, but it's gonna be good for me I think. It'll help get me back into the swing of things, and by the end of the summer, I'll be totally ready to resume working out at our almost brand new gym at school. It'll be great. Hopefully. With a combination of Weight Watchers and Curves, plus Field Hockey, and going for runs with my dad, and continually telling myself not to eat, maybe I'll be able to lose some weight! We'll see! Motivation...such an aggrivation.

I need to go do something productive. Like do my nails for Awards tomorrow night!

Sun, 08 May 2005 21:02:09 GMT

This is for you Su! I told you I'm Japanese, and now I have a name to go along with it!

Your Japanese Name Is...

Saeko Inokuma

What's your Japanese Name?

Something to pass the time...

Sun, 08 May 2005 20:54:00 GMT

I stole all these from Su!

To pick up Brad Pitt: If I could rearrange the alphabet... I'd put you between F and CK

Get your own Magic Pick Up Line

How dirty! I would never think of saying anything like that to my Brad!

100 Years by Five for Fighting

"Every day's a new day...
15 there's still time for you
Time to buy and time to choose
Hey 15, there's never a wish better than this
When you only got 100 years to live"

2004 was about thinking and reflecting - but isn't every year?

What 2004 Hit Song Are You?

Your #1 Match: ISFJ

The Nurturer

You have a strong need to belong, and you very loyal.
A good listener, you excell at helping others in practical ways.
In your spare time, you enjoy engaging your senses through art, cooking, and music.
You find it easy to be devoted to one person, who you do special things for.

You would make a good interior designer, chef, or child psychologist.

What's Your Personality Type?

Chef? Maybe. Interior Designer? It'd be fun, but I'd be horrible. I don't even think that what I'm wearing matches let alone a whole room. Child Psychologist? Never.

Cinco de Mayo

Thu, 05 May 2005 15:21:49 GMT

Today is the fifth of May, also known as Cinco de Mayo. I learned about it while I was watching Ellen this morning. Ellen is so educational!

So I have 2 jobs, yet I have NO hours this week, tell me how that works?! I'm working at 2 X-Ray Clinics part time, one of them being the one that I've been working at for the past 2 years, and the other one being, some other Clinic (STL Imaging) in Burlington and possibly Toronto occasionally. I heard back from STL that I got the job, and then I sent her an e-mail to say that I'd be happy to work for them, but I haven't heard back from my acceptance e-mail yet, and it's been a week. I'm really scared to call them, I don't know why! I also have to call my other boss, because I have her key to the Oakville Clinic. I swear, this summer, I'm just the X-Ray clinic Whore! I'll be working at 3 clinics in Burlington, 1 in Oakville and 1 in Toronto! Yikes!

So Field Hockey starts on Monday...I'm SO happy! Except for the fact that I'm completely out of shape. I'm really bored right now, but I think I'm going out for a run with Tory, to help whip me into shape for Field Hockey!

So here are some pictures from this weekend, it was a blast! On Friday night, we went to Steve's house...and on Saturday night it was Kate's Birthday, so we went out for dinner, went to see Aldershot's Grease, and then went to Steve's house again! It was so much fun!

Me, Jean and Arielle at Grease.

Cam, Taryn, Me and Kate at Steve's on Friday...We were...umm...laughing about Taryn's new piercing...No further explanation.

All of us, minus a few (so obviously not all of us!) at Steves...It was like a big High School Reunion!

My oh so thoughtful gift to Kate for her birthday...a Sars mask! I was at work all day, and I was so incredibly bored...I took one of the medical masks and I made her wear it!

Kate and I....I think we might have just had a pillow fight, but I'm not sure............................I don't remember! HAHA!

Ummm yea, ok, this is interesting...

Part 2

Fri, 22 Apr 2005 04:41:55 GMT

Making faces...something that we are very good at. It sure helped us waste some time...something else we are very good at!

Our Chin Face Musical. Su (or should I say "Bonjour") is on the left and I'm on the right. Again, another spectacularly funny night! We always know how to amuse ourselves!

This picture deserves to be bigger, just look at Su's expression! This is the day that I decided that I would throw Su a random surprise Birthday party, because I knew that I probably wouldn't see her on her real birthday (in June). So she got 2 birthdays this year! I enlisted so many people's help...Liz unlocked her door for me, Jess drove me around Waterloo to get everything, Richard and Mark came to surprise the pants off of her, and Adam kept her at the Lab until we were ready! It was so much fun! I did confuse her though...the cake said 19, so when we were all at Liz's later that night, and she was talking about her sister turning 20, Su thought that she was turning 20 too! No Su, the 19 on the cake didn't mean that you actually turned 19! You have to wait until your REAL birthday! What a nutcase!

Us, all "boobing" Su with our fake balloon boobs at the Random Surprise Party. We are a crazy bunch! That's Adam, Su, Mark, Richard and me.

I look like I was electricuted! Su twisted my hair, and this is what it looked like after I took it out the next morning...and I had to go out in public like that!

We straightened Adam's hair (yea that's right, he let us!). He looks like he was electricuted!

Yet another one of my Smoothie mishaps...I would like to say that after a whole year of making smoothies, that I have mastered the smoothie making art...but unfortunately it isn't so! I think this one was the worst...but at least I didn't get it all over the walls and clean dishes this time...

I got Su back...I braided her hair really tightly and small, and when she took it out, it was HUGE! This is her "Butterfly" picture.

The beginning of Cap ou pas Cap?, a game that tested our Dare giving and recieving skills!

So I think that's about it. This, in no way sums up our year, but it gives you a litte look inside of it. I had a blast, and I couldn't have asked for a better roommate!

And then there was one...

Fri, 22 Apr 2005 03:55:14 GMT

So the end of first year has come, and with mixed emotions...I'm so glad that classes are over, but leaving the place that I've called home for the last 8 months is a little strange. My floor is so empty, so many people have gone home, which feels so strange. I'm the only one left in my suite, which is the strangest feeling in the world. Everything except my stuff is gone, and visually, it's like nobody else was here...well that is definately not the case. I had such a blast this year, and I owe almost all of it to Su...by far the best of all roommates I could have ever had. We laughed together (A LOT), we cried together (mainly because we were laughing), we stressed out together, we lived together, and we became amazing friends. So, as I sit alone in Suite 202, Room A, of Beck Hall at the University of Waterloo, I would like to take a litte time to remember some of the highlights from this year.

The beginning of it all...Our first picture as "Su and Erika". I look very creepy and Su looks very cold. It was cold that day...but we still had the windows wide open!

Our secret handshake

Us, modelling...umm....not our clothes!

Our kick start on the Christmas season...Me laughing at Su, who is burning in the fire at the Festival of Lights at Waterloo Park. Jess was with us too!

Our infamous teeth picture. Look at them pearly whites!

BLANKET MONSTER! Ahaha another quality night of laughter. You either had to be there, or you have to know the two of us together to understand why this would be funny! The best part of that night was definately the Blanket Monster's rendition of "Rumors" by Lindsay Lohan!

Tue, 19 Apr 2005 20:38:37 GMT

So, it's 2 1/2 hours before my exam and I'm here. Tell me, why is that?! Arrgh. I'm very sick of school, and I know everyone else is! My sex notes are lying on my bed, just begging to be studied, but I'm ignoring them. On the bright side, the fact that my bed is now on ground level makes me happy...however I don't have much more time to enjoy that luxury. I'm done tomorrow at 12:00 noon, Su's leaving around that time, and my parents aren't picking me up until Thursday! It will be so lonely without anyone here tomorrow night. Boo hoo. I'm going to miss the Amazing Race tonight...but I will tape it. I am going into Genetics with a 77 (how I got that, I don't know!), and I only have to get 20% on the final exam to pass the course...I know that's not a good way to think, but that's how I'm thinking now! I've been studying for sex all day, and the exam's at 7, then when I get home from it at 10pm, when am I going to study the rest of Genetics?! I guess I'll be up alllllll night! I am getting extremely distracted....The kids at the daycare are still driving me nuts, and everytime that I hear someone outside, it's like an obsession, I have to look out the window to see who it is. Chances are, I don't have a clue who it is, but I still feel like I have to look! And I learned how to wiggle my ears...except nobody believes me, cause I can't do it when people are watching! How strange. Ok, I am going back to sex. Yes, I said it. Goodbye

Randomness...

Wed, 13 Apr 2005 15:13:08 GMT

I have an exam in just over 24 hours...and I'm on lecture 2 of 11. I suck at school. Well well, I'm not surprised, seeing as I'm such a huge procrastinator. I hate that damn daycare outside. Seriously, WHY oh WHY do they put a daycare right in the middle of a university residence complex?! Seriously?! There's 4 residence buildings, and there's a daycare right smack dab in the middle. Well, not exactly in the middle, more like RIGHT OUTSIDE MY WINDOW! Well, perhaps I can answer my own question. This whole residence complex used to be the married student apartments, and they probably started the daycare as some sort of free childcare for the parents who are students. The daycare, and that movie have totally turned me off kids. I used to like kids, but now?! Not so much. And the way the "teachers" treat the kids seems a little unethical to me. Some of the things they say to them are just not nice...and they don't let the kids do anything for themselves, or learn anything for themselves. They are so "sheltered" I supposed you could say, but at this age, I think the kids need some freedom to explore and discover for themselves...not being locked up in a cage with a swing and a slide. They sing stupid songs like "Tap Tap Tap the Wall" and "If you're happy and you know it..." but it's not the kids singing, it's the STUPID "TEACHERS". The poor kids probably hate it there.

So I'm on steroids now, isn't that exciting?! Yes yes, topical steroid creme for the rash on my hand. And it's working. Good good. Now Jess can't be mad at me anymore. I went to Health Services, and I think my theory was proven correct because the doctor was retarded. My theory you ask?! That University Health Services nurses and doctors are nurses and doctors who couldn't make it in the real world, so they work at UW Health Services. And I wasted like an hour and a half of my life, just to get a lousy prescription that my mom has, and I could have just waited until going home to use. Oh well, I love the University drug plan...I only paid $2.12 for the whole container. Nice.

So as I was studying for psych the other day, I was reading about Freud's Psychoanalytic, which I learned in Sex class a long time ago, but then, I didn't really think about it, I just memorized stuff. But this time, I was actually thinking about his whole theory and everything. Here's what I came up with. I totally disagree with practically everything Freud said. I think that he was either “stuck in the phallic stage”, was extremely sexually frustrated, or he didn’t get enough action, so he had to make up some theories that are supposed to apply to everyone, just to explain the fact that his sexuality underlined everything that he did. Either all that, or he just wanted to be famous, and since there weren’t very many psychological theories, he just made some up so he could be famous. You’re right Su, they shouldn’t pronounce it “Froyd” they should pronounce it “Fraud.” I think it's all a whole bunch of B.S.

You know what's sad?! When I sit at my computer chair properly (not all hunched over), my feet don't even touch the floor. How sad is that?! When it's extended all the way up that is. When it's all the way down, my feet just make it flat on the floor. Wow.

I really need to go have a shower, but that takes so much time out of my day. I know, I'm gross.

So again this morning, I was going to wake up early to study, and it's now 10:50, and I'm on the same page as last night. I was going to get up at 9:00, and go to the library for 10:00, but I realized that I hate the library. It's sad, but I get lonely and my mind just wanders off of the page. So I decided to stay here, and force myself to study, and not get distracted. But so far, it's not working. I was going to wake up Su, cause she said that she was going to get up around 9, 9:30ish. So I got her up at 10:00, but she's still in bed. I wish I could do that...her next exam isn't until Friday...mine's tomorrow, so I think I had better stay up all day. I'm surprised that I stayed in bed that long this morning, because yesterday, we went out to get slurpees, which turned out to be a hike all the way to McDonalds...and when we got back, I slept for 2 hours. 2 HOURS! I didn't start napping until I got to university, and now it's all I want to do! I slept for about 20 minutes, and Su woke me up, we both went back to bed, and she woke me up in another 10 minutes...I said "a;lhtrflsa ;8ijwrfsz" and decided that yes, I need to get up now. But apparently I just shut my eyes again, and I slept until 8:30! Then I had to watch the Amazing Race, and then I gave Su a lesson in......yes......and then it turned out that my whole day was gone. Nothing like that will happen today! Today is a day of Studying! My break will be a lunch break at 3:00 so I can watch General Hospital, and then my next break will be...a lot later for perhaps some dinner. That is it. I am signing out for the day.

That is a lie, I will probably be back.
